Question about Fantom Vacums FM760 Twister 500DX Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum
I have cleared all of the hoses on this vacumn and it works fine with the hose taken out but you put it back in and it don't pick up. I have tryed everything Please help.
I had this problem once too. When the hose is inserted into the vacuum, the floor unit (where the spinning brushes are) becomes the head of the vacuum. In other words, the suction goes through the floor part and then up through the hose and into the vacuum. If the suction is good when the hose is out, the the problem is blockage at the bottom piece. Take the cover off of the rollers (it is one screw then it pops right off) and see if there is a bunch of lint/hair/gunk blocking the suction hole. You could also take the hose part out of the vacuum and look down the empty shaft with a flashlight and see if you see anything there. Hope this helps!
